“For me it saved my life. Arts gave me that access to see the world differently and for the world to see me differently. When I was living on the streets I had a camera and instead of having a stigma attached to me as a homeless dude, they saw you as a photographer. You were given that up-step. That’s what empowers people, that’s what picks people up, that’s what gives them good wellbeing and resilience”
